Chapter 226: The Battle of Weishui
Seven years ago, on a high mountain near Quzhou in Jiannan, this was a stronghold of mountain bandits, at least in the eyes of the government.
On that day, as a lady in the village, An Jiaxin wore a spear in battle armor, stood on the high platform of the village, and guarded the sudden tens of thousands of court officers and soldiers in front of the big cottage, who wanted to encircle and suppress them Quzhou Foot Assassin History, these officers and soldiers were at least 10,000, there were only more than 3,000 people in her cottage, and the strength of the battle was only 1,000, most of them were women and children, and it was unlikely that they could hold it, and the other party also had a chariot to attack the village, and they were well prepared.
"Ann Woman, what should you do next? Such a group of melon babies surrounded us! Enough to drink a pot of sprinkles! ”
An Jiaxin listened to both the big boss of the village and her father complaining half-jokingly beside her, and sighed a little, they didn't do anything hurtful in Quzhou Tianwolf Village, let alone rob the house, but just gathered a group of homeless people to farm and feed each other.
Now that she is being crusaded, there is also a reason for it, because she and a woman in red made a big fuss about the secret granary outside Quzhou, to put it mildly, it is the private warehouse of the Assassin Shi, and the unreasonable law was stolen from the people.
An Jiaxin, as the daughter of a mountain bandit, naturally has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, likes to wander on the rivers and lakes, and is a little famous in Jiannan.
The father and daughter stood together, didn't say more, looked at the Tang Dynasty military flag erected in front of them, and it wasn't until a black-armored sergeant emerged that An Jiaxin happily said to his father, "Dad, look at Sa, this pot is very suitable!" ”
After a battle, the officers and soldiers of Quzhou were defeated, and the Tianwolf Village also moved after the autumn harvest and went north to the Daheling Mountains of the Wenjiang River, where the mysterious Black Armor Army was stationed.
After several years, An Jiaxin began to learn words, arithmetic, and began to contact the manufacture of gunpowder, and slowly got the recognition of Wu Yueya, and became a fierce general of the Black Armor Army, not only good at martial arts, but also especially good at artillery shooting.
Now he led 70,000 Black Armor troops along Weishui all the way east, to support Hou Sanniang and other more than 10,000 remnants of the Tang Army who were trapped in Weishui.
A few days ago, she received a distress letter from Hou Sanniang from Du Junshi, more than 10,000 Tang troops were guarding the Xiaoluochuan River by the Weishui, and the enemy's iron cavalry had a total of 40,000 people.
In the middle of Xiaoluochuan is a river valley, and on the left and right sides are hilly areas, with chaotic forests, which are not suitable for cavalry charges, and it is obviously wise to defend according to the river, with their backs to Weishui, and there is no need to worry about the sneak attack behind them, of course, the remnants of the Tang army also have no boats to cross Weishui, and the Hu people will not be able to fight in the water, so they cannot launch a sneak attack from the river.
Therefore, there are mountains on the left and right, there is a big river behind, and there is a diversion in front, only need to fortify in the east, you can block the attack of the Hu people's iron cavalry, and at the same time, you must also pay attention to the Hu people's detour on the river, and the mountains in the west also need to have sentinel reconnaissance, and the nature of the terrain allows the embarrassed Tang army remnants to survive.
An Jiaxin marched for three days, and now has reached the western slope of Xiaoluochuan, this time the army brought out, only 10,000 broadsword cavalry, the most is artillery, a total of 30,000 artillery, after all, she is the general of the artillery regiment, and the rest is the sword and shield soldiers and the Modao spear team of the iron cavalry of the Hu people.
The blade of a Mo knife is about half a zhang long, the handle is about three feet long, all the Mo knife soldiers are five people and one fire, and they attack in a team when they enter the chaos, and the Mo knife resists the shoulder when marching, and there is no scabbard to install.
At the beginning, when Wu Yueya put forward the opinion of Mo Dao with reference to the public loss war, he created such a batch of Mo knives, and then found that the spear could also exert the combat power of Mo Dao, so he did not mass-produce Mo Dao, but focused on shields and melee combat broadswords, after all, the power of long-range artillery is already very large, to some extent, it is better to improve the range of the bow and crossbow and the sharpness of the arrow, as for the musket, this kind of thing is made, but there is a bow and crossbow that is easy to use.
An Jiaxin held the reins of the war horse, through the monoculars, looked at the Tang army camp stationed on the edge of Weishui, it was obvious that it was impacted, the east garrison had been burned down for most of it, few sergeants were active, looking towards the row of mountains in the east, a bloody piece, on this side of the mountain, there were many Tang army dead soldiers with sackcloth tied to their foreheads lurking in the mountains and forests ready to resist the next wave of enemy attacks.
However, in An Jiaxin's sight, this group of Tang soldiers did not know that there were already Hu people on the left and right, and measured the distance with their thumbs, An Jiaxin shook his head, this distance was not reached, and immediately ordered the artillery battalion to go towards the river under the mountain, and at the same time let the sword and shield soldiers and the Mo Dao team go first, through the wooden bridge built in the river valley, to support the remnants of the Tang army who were ambushed.
As for the cavalry, they could only lead their horses slowly down, and such dense mountains and forests were not suitable for cavalry combat.
In the tent of the remnants of the Tang Army, Hou Sanniang hung an injured arm, looking at the Tang Army generals Kuang Ming and Kou Zhong who were coaxing to evacuate here, and she could only sigh secretly with a tired expression.
"Hou Sanniang, do you know that it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, why bother to die again, organize a dare to die sergeant, and let them break the queen for us, so that we can evacuate here safely, and we don't have to worry about the pursuit of the Hu people!" Kou Zhong proposed to Hou Sanniang, if it weren't for his arm injury, he wouldn't dare to come out and raise objections, although Hou Sanniang is a woman, his identity is cheap, but his kung fu is comparable to that of a grandmaster, he can't beat it, and he can't afford to provoke it, and now the darts who came with her are all killed in battle, plus the general above them is also killed in battle, so naturally they can split up, in the troubled times, who can spare their lives.
"What General Kou said is extremely true, we can't fight to the death here, and the reinforcements that Hou Sanniang said have been delayed, I think the princess who protects the country has already given up Chang'an to the rebels! Evacuate here as soon as possible, we can't die here, only the saints in the north can have a chance! When Kou Zhong finished singing, Kuang Ming immediately echoed.
The quarrel between the two made many small generals around faintly moved, if they sacrificed some people to break off at the beginning, they should be able to escape from this place, but this woman was short-sighted to block here, and after a few days of hard work, more than 10,000 people became less than 5,000 now.
Hou Sanniang looked coldly at Kuang Ming and Kou Zhong, who were afraid of going to the battlefield, and then glanced around, it seemed that it was impossible to unite as one, she didn't think that her decision was wrong, at least in the past few days, the surviving sergeants will be full of bloody men in the future, according to the time when she sent a letter to the princess, reinforcements should arrive today.
Boom, the roar of artillery fire sounded outside, and the main camp made a creaking sound from the wood-built main camp.
Many people were surprised, this thunder was too close, it was simply a thunder male and electric mother arguing overhead.
At this time, the sergeant outside ran to report, "Report, a red banner has appeared outside, and countless black-armored troops are heading towards the eastern hillside!" ”
"What? The enemy broke through our defenses so quickly? Kou Zhong jumped to his feet in a hurry, grabbed the soldier who reported the situation, and asked with a hideous face.
The soldier was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"It's reinforcements coming! Do you dare to fight me to the death with the Hu people? ”
Hou Sanniang stood up after speaking, slowly untied the bandage that tied her arm, and tried to stretch the injured arm, as if she was pulled by an invisible force, and she couldn't straighten up in pain.
Walking heavily to the shelf, he drew his broken sword, put one hand on his shoulder, and walked towards the tent door.
Hou Sanniang walked with a confident smile like this, and the little general next to him unconsciously got out of the way, watching this injured weak woman go out to face the battle, many people were ashamed, obviously a seven-foot man was not as good as a woman, greedy for life and afraid of death, and finally someone broke the dullness.
"I'll go!"
"I'll go too!"
Many small generals spontaneously followed behind Hou Sanniang.
Outside, Hou Sanniang resolutely dispatched troops, jumped on the war horse, and led the Tang army, which was still willing to fight, to rush down the mountain to the east, and joined the Black Armor Army, and the support she had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.
After a bloody battle, the camp tent of the Hu people under the mountain in the east was broken under the artillery fire, and Hou Sanniang led the remnants of the Tang army to rush into the formation, killing the Hu people to lose their armor and abandon their armor, looking up to the sky and roaring, venting all the resentment in the past few days.
